    Duck eggs-Day 31-

    Hi All, I've got 2 WH duck eggs on day 31. Fertility was way down this Spring, had to toss 14 eggs after a week. Anyways, candled before lockdown and everything looked great. However, no rocking or pips or ANYTHING since then. That was almost a week ago. Temps were 99.5ish, bouncing a bit. Went...

    pea gravel in the winter? And in general?

    Hi, I am thinking of putting pea gravel as the floor of my new coop. I will have a dog-house type shelter with bedding, but otherwise pea gravel all over. IS there an increased risk of bumblefoot? And how does it work in winter, when I can't hose it off? Thanks!

    heat lamp?!?!

    Hi everyone! I'm going to be getting ducklings soon, and I'm wondering-are ceramic heaters & domes safer/more energy efficient? I'm concerned of the fire risk....or just get the regular standard white and metal dome?

    Pumpkin seeds to deworm dog?

    Hi all, Last year around this time we had a bout with worms with my mutt mix dog. She's two years old, and I think she's got them again. We got a dewormer from the vet. I've been researching, and I came across a site that said pumpkin seeds would take care of it. Anyone had experience using...

    Rabbit with crusty, weepy eye?

    Hi, One of our rabbits has developed a weird "crust" around one of her eyes. It has been very very cold here, so when I tried to wipe it off it was all hardened and gross. Any suggestions? It looks like that "sleep" we get in eyes, just a lot more.

    how to put weight on rabbit?

    Hello all! I have a Holland Lop rabbit, sweetest, fluffiest thing ever. She's skinny. I can feel her ribs through her "fluff", and her spine quite easily. She is free-fed pellets, and gets a huge handful of clover/dandelion greens every morning. What else can I do?

    Call ducklings-how to prep??

    Lots of questions! I have call ducklings set to hatch this weekend, and a duck is going to raise them. So, questions: How deep/wide can their water dish be? Chick starter? What kind to get? What about niacin? Where to get? When can they start swimming? I'm sure I'll have more questions, thanks...

    Magpie or Bibbed??

    Hello! As you may have seen from all of my duck health questions, I've recently bought a call duck. I'm just wondering if you would call her a black bibbed, or a magpie? She has white around her eyes, and a really cool eye-stripe, as well as the 'bib', but that's about it. I'll include a pic...

    Sick duck!! Help needed!

    I bought a call duck yesterday at a swap, and quarantined her in my garage for awhile to make sure she isn't sick. Well, I thought she was hissing at me earlier, but when I got her out of the cage her bill was wet-ish, but not all over. Just under her nostrils. And it looked like there was some...
